Simon Pegg and Jessica
Stevenson are Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner - two hopeless
twentysomethings sharing a flat and pretending to be a couple. Joining
them on their urban adventures are wine-swilling landlady Marsha, the
rather intense artist who lives downstairs Brian, Tim's best friend and
would-be TA soldier Mike, and Daisy's best friend, the air-headed Twist.
Together they tackle the big questions that the 21st century poses: who
are they, what they mean to each other and who should switch on the
kettle?

Spaced is the definitive cult television show. Running for two series
on the Channel 4 station, the show created a loyal and obsessive band of
fans.

It's easy to see why. The comedy here is broad but also takes shots at
every kind of pop culture possible. Comic books, television shows,
movies, everything. Nothing is safe from their razor wire wit.

Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson give absolutely star making turns as
Tim and Daisy. Two twenty somethings who are in desperate need of a
flat. When one comes up, they concoct a plan to pose as a couple in
order to get the place.

The relationship between the two of them is played brilliantly. While
yes there is a 'will they won't they' theme going on, that's not the
main part of the story. In fact, it's pretty much a background thing.
The main part is the growing friendship between the pair and the myriad
group of friends that they pick up along the way.

The best of these friends is, by far, the wannabe TA Soldier Mike.
Tim's best friend from when they were children, Mike is incredibly
unhinged yet sweet at the same time. The best moment of the entire
collection however belongs to Mike. The group of friends have all gone
to a nightclub for a night out and Mike manages to get the entire club
dancing and 'throwing shapes' to a remix of the A-Team theme tune.
That part, and many others, had me literally crying with laughter.

The special features here are some of the best that I have seen in a
television release in a long time. Every single part of the creation
process seems to have been covered and yet not once was I bored by any
of the things here, in fact I found them entertaining.
